Santorum Wrong About WMD's

Rick Santorum please report to your nearest state hospital stat! First our junior Senator (R-VA) goes bonkers accusing a Penn Hills couple of trespassing on his property (with absolutely no evidence thereof) and claims they're a threat to the safety of his children (when they actually live in Leesburg, Virginia) but yesterday he held a press conference to announce the Army had found the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. And that President Bush, sinking rapidly in the polls partly because this is what he predicated his invasion upon, hadn't released this important information to the people.

Once again Santorum spoke before checking his facts. It seems the Iraq Survey Group had already said the wmd's Bush said Saddam had weren't there. Now the Department of Defense also says Rick is smoking something silly (and probably illegal). Even the White House Propaganda Channel (Fox News) disavows these claims. When you're a Republican and even Fox News won't back you you know you've gone over the edge.

Here are the facts as we know them. Old artillery canisters were found from before the first Gulf War. After that war Saddam disarmed his weapons of mass destruction because of the onerous UN sanctions. Of course he was afraid to admit so publicly for fear of inviting an attack from Iran. Something about letting your next door enemy know how weak you are and all that. So these old munitions have been found. They aren't the weapons George Bush, Dick Cheney and Condi Rice said Iraq had and were why we had to go to war. There was talk of nuclear technology, mushroom clouds over American cities, of aluminum tubes and uranium from Africa. No one sought to go to war because of old, pre-1991 mustard gas canisters. Artillery that wouldn't even been effective in 2003.

Rick Santorum is crazy. Someone find him a bed at Norristown State Hospital, or, better yet, somewhere in Virginia so his family can visit. The man's polling numbers have turned him bonkers.
